:D I just had my pc reformatted and I have a change in my "Mouse" window. It shows something like this now:

But it used to show something like this:

In the upper picture, you can only swap the primary and secondary buttons. But doing so, you change BOTH the MOUSE and the TOUCHPAD. Before, I was able to just change the mouse to left handed.

I'd like to only change the mouse to the left handed...

  • Hi! Thanks for the quick reply. I wasn't aware this info was needed. I have a toshiba computer, I have a toshiba sattelite c660, is that what is meant by "model" of the laptop"? And I am running a windows 7 home premium. Thank you again. Apr 28, 2015 at 17:19
  • Agrees with LPchip, if your going through the standard windows driver with both input devices the change is going to be to that driver/software item, and effect all the input devices using it. If it will be possible it will only be possible if there is a seperate driver and/or software that your changing the settings for.

I just installed EasyMouse to solve this. http://eithermouse.com/ There was a good review at http://www.commonitman.com/2014/03/use-eithermouse-for-managing-multiple.html

Yup, after some tinkering, EitherMouse fixed the same for me with Logitech mouse and Dell touchpad. Finally!
